To validate the Ethical Leadership Scale by Brown, Treviño and Harrison (2005) in Italian language, and assess, in health care setting, whether ethical leadership is related to leader-member exchange and also job satisfaction, work engagement, cynicism and organisational service climate.
Ethics is a key component in health care professions, and leaders have to encourage ethical behaviour. Unfortunately, no instrument is currently validated in Italy and the associations between this construct and the proposed measures have been understudied.
A cross-sectional study was conducted in a large organisation offering health care services. All employees were invited to fill an online survey. The answers of 637 respondents, working in 48 centres for elderly and disabled people, were examined with exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses and aggregated at the centre level to test the association among the examined measures.
The 10 items on the ethical leadership scale load on a single factor, negatively related to cynicism and positively related to the other examined variables.
The proposed scale is a reliable tool to assess the ethical leadership of Italian health care managers and nurse leaders.
The scale allows to assess and monitor ethical leadership in health care workplaces. Supporting ethical leadership may stimulate employees' work attitudes and promote organisational service climate.
验证 Brown、Treviño 和 Harrison（2005）的《伦理领导力量表》（Ethical Leadership Scale）的意大利语版本，并评估在医疗保健环境中，伦理领导力是否与领导-成员交换（leader-member exchange）以及工作满意度、工作投入、犬儒主义和组织服务氛围有关。
伦理是医疗保健专业的一个关键组成部分，领导者必须鼓励道德行为。不幸的是，目前在意大利还没有经过验证的工具，而且这个构念与提出的措施之间的关联也研究不足。
在一家提供医疗保健服务的大型组织中进行了一项横断面研究。邀请所有员工填写在线调查。对 637 名在 48 个老年和残疾人士中心工作的受访者的回答进行了探索性和验证性因素分析，并在中心层面进行了汇总，以检验所检查的措施之间的关联。
伦理领导力量表的 10 个项目在一个单一因素上有负荷，与犬儒主义呈负相关，与其他检查变量呈正相关。
拟议的量表是评估意大利医疗保健管理人员和护理领导者伦理领导力的可靠工具。
该量表可用于评估和监测医疗保健工作场所的伦理领导力。支持伦理领导力可以激发员工的工作态度，促进组织服务氛围。
